The most common reason that they get repl. is that one of the speed sensors goes bad. We now can repl. just the control unit without a valve body for this fault but that is within the last 3-4 months. Other than that we repl. valve bodies for mostly shift complaints. There have been many updates from the originals when 1st released in 2004. I do not remember what car this one came out of but it was either a standard c class or a ml or something.

I would ask them directly since they can't post here. From what I remember reading by what was posted by them a while back on another forum they claim to modify maps in the ECU that are related to shift quality or performance. They openly acknowledge they don't have 100% map access to the 722.9 TCU, however people do seem to notice the difference in shifting, at least those I've spoken to.
Take it fwiw.

Hi Harun!
I hadnt heard that. Harrop make the superchargers for HSV / Walkinshaw dont they?
I have been in communication with the Weistec guys and pending a bit more DD will probably buy supercharger for CLK. I think they will be available very very shortly

Why no telephone or address for Weistec?
I visited the company website and know that they are moving but why not even a temporary address, cell phone# or real name?
I remember Vadim working on a Kenne Bell/Twin-Screw 2.3 litre SC kit for the 63 engine and even took some deposits. I believe a CLS63 owner had a dispute with the deposit or R&D investment. I've even seen the prototype in his shop over about 2 years ago. link https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/...-63s-m156.html
I wonder if Vadim is associated with this company? Vadim's shop was also in Costa Mesa.
Can someone at Weistec respond to these questions as I am looking for 63 to either supercharge or turbocharge later this year when my current project is finally completed. I don't want to be a guinnea pig anymore so will wait for the proven results and reliability from the volunteers like all the other 63 owners are.

For what it's worth, Kenne Bell does not make a 2.3L. The do make a 2.1L and a 2.6L. Perhaps the other company that made an attempt was using something else. Please let us know if you have any questions. Thanks.

We have no relation or association with Vadim or his shop. We don't expect any customer to be a guinnea pig whatsoever. All testing weather it be the component or calibration has been done in house by test cars owned by Weistec Engineering used specifically for this matter.

Needless to say, we are neighbors with many high end manufacturers. It is not a Whipple although it looks very similar. We can not have used an off the shelf unit, because of the tight space of these engines. Thanks.
